I think of technology as a way to alter the \u2018natural world\u2019 with the goal of fulfilling \u2018needs and desires.\u2019 Something much bigger and complex than a single device or site. We use it in math and science classroom to understand principles and strategies needed to develop solutions and achieve goals. Designers of learning experience should strive to implement instructions that reach and challenge students\u2019 socio-cultural and historical knowledge and understanding. Understanding occurs when students meaningfully contextualise and conceptualise what they are learning. According to Vygotsky (1978, 1986, 1997; Vygotsky &Luria, 1993) concept formation is an ongoing interaction between the concrete dimension (socio-cultural-historical experience) and the abstract dimension (math and science concepts in this context) that does not require that the child reinvent information, and does not expect the child to form abstract conceptualisations without first having engaged in concrete activities that support the formation of mental models.<\/p>\n

I would design a technology-enhanced learning experience where technology would be used to meet goals around developing strategies to achieve what I think is important for concept formation in math and science, that are differentiated learning, personalisation and customisation, depth and complexity, digital citizenship, collaboration, flipped teaching research, and organisation.<\/p>\n
